OMG it's literally heartbreaking how many ppl r struggling 2 get food cuz SNAP bennies r cutoff ! Like, what r we even gonna do? Rich Township Food Pantry is already overcrowded & overwhelmed , & it's getting harder 4 ppl like Jane Donovan who r relyin on those bennies 2 feed their fams . We gotta come together as a community & support these ppl in need ! Fingers crossed that the gov shutdown ends soon & ppl get the help they need

OMG the situation with SNAP benefits is getting super crazy! I'm all for helping those in need, but it's crazy how one person's income can affect so many others. I feel bad for Jason Webb and his family having to scramble just to put food on the table . And yeah, Jane Donovan's story broke my heart - I'd never thought I'd be reading about a senior struggling to feed her family.

I think it's great that local leaders like Calvin Jordan and Kisha McCaskill are stepping up to help, but we really need some kind of solution ASAP . I'm not sure what the answer is, but we can't just sit back and wait for something to change. It's time for our leaders to come together and figure this out! What do you guys think should be done? Should there be more funding for programs like SNAP or what?

This is getting out of hand! Like 600 people showed up for a food pantry in one day? It's heartbreaking to see ppl struggling so hard & having to rely on these services. What's the point of even calling it a "supplemental" program if ppl are still scraping by? We need some serious support from our leaders ASAP, not just empty promises!
